Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been first coated with cobalt ferrites by a simple wet method. Transmission electron microscopy images show that ferrite nanoparticles (average diameter of 10 nm) were deposited on the sidewall of the MWCNTs. X-ray diffraction pattern exhibits representative diffraction peaks corresponding to spinel structure, and the structure of the MWCNTs is not distorted. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrum shows the proportion of the content of Fe and Co is about 2:1, which coincides with the stoichiometric proportion of CoFe2O4.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
